Hurst Homes for Sale

The land now known as Hurst, Texas, is steeped in history, and before the existence of Bird’s Fort, settlement in the area was virtually nonexistent. The fort had been built to protect the various settlements that had taken root along the Texas Frontier. Nevertheless, no matter what level of force was used against the Native Americans in order to drive them out of the area, some tribes remained a danger to the settlers. Finally, in 1843, Ed Terrell, Sam Houston, General Edward H. Tarrant, along with several Native American tribes signed a treaty that would allow the area to be settled. Once the area was open for settlers, people began to set up around the Trinity Basin. After the end of the Civil War, settlement gained speed yet again. In the 1870s, William Letchworth Hurst moved into the area with his family. Though there wasn’t anything particularly special about Hurst warranting a town being named after him, in 1903, he made a deal with the Rock Island Railroad allowing it to lay track on his land if they agreed to build a train station there. Rock Island Railroad agreed and, after completing the station’s construction, named it after Hurst. The community was officially given his name in 1909.
